The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has warned that the ‘no gree for anybody’ slogan being used by youths can lead to crises in the country.
The ‘no gree for anybody’ catchphrase has attained viral status in the Nigerian social media space and on the streets. It has also been jocularity adopted by the zeitgeist as the nationwide motto for 2024.
The catchphrase loosely means ‘do not tolerate any form of nonsense from anybody’ or ‘do not allow yourself to be bullied by anyone’.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, in Abuja, Muyiwa Adejobi, force spokesperson, said intelligence reports show that the catchphrase is capable of plunging Nigeria into a crisis of monumental proportions.
Adejobi said although the catchphrase is being seen as “normal talk”, those in the security community view it as a “dangerous” slogan. The new slogan for 2024 for young people is ‘no dey gree for anybody’.
“We have been informed from our intelligence that this is coming from the retribution sector that might likely cause problems across the country.
“‘No dey gree for anybody’ is being seen as just normal talk. In the security community, we have seen it as a very dangerous slogan that can trigger crises,” Adejobi warned.
